FROM THE REVIEWING STAND ‘Torpedo & Avenged LT. GEORGE H. GAY, lone sur- vivor of gallant Torpedo Squadron 8, which went down fighting the “whole Jap fleet” at Midway, feels that his mates have been at least partly avenged. Shot down after scoring a hit on a 28,000-ton Jap carrier, Gay spent twenty-four hours in the water, where he had a “fish-eye view” of the battle as he floated around in a rubber life jacket. His own radio man was killed. After recovering from his wounds, he returned to duty and during the past year he feels that to some extent he has helped even the score against the Japs for his ‘Torpedo 8 mates. The story recently came out when Lt. Gay returned to the Miami Air Station, where he has been assigned as an instructor. After Midway and his return to duty, he joined a Torpedo Sq’dron, and went to the Southwest Pacific, where “We have really had. some fun.” To the Navy Cross he won at Midway, Gay added an Air Medal. The accompanying citation describes his material contribution to the following score: Sunk—5 enemy destroyers, 3 cargo vessels; severely damaged—1 light crul- ser, 3 destroyers. He was particu- larly cited for two extremely haz- Lieut. George H. Gay, Jr., 40 ardous mine-laying operations in a stron~ly-defended enemy harbor. Lt. Gay is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Gay 813 Hardy St., Hous- ton, 9, Texas. He is Houston’s out- standing Naval hero of the war, and one of the outstanding heroes of the Naval Aviation Corps. “Woo Cha Zooh’’ Reports From China January 14, 1944 : Somewhere in China Dear Mr. McQuillen: For the first time in over seven months, I've received a TEXAS AGGIE. Needless to say, I enjoyed it very much. Would you care for some infor- mation about China? My official signature in Chinese characters means “Woo Cha Zooh”—a fine name for a Texas Aggie! The in- closed is some Chinese money, which you may use for your build- ing fund. As for myself, I am a liaison of - ficer working with Chinese troops, and such work I enjoy very much. At times I live with them, eat . with them, and can eat ‘fairly well with chopsticks, but cannot go, as yet, eating the chicken’s head!. Am very proud of our boys In the service, such as BILL MOSER, BRUNO HOCKMUTH, and all the GOLASINSKI brothers—and all the others, but would like for you to drop a line to CAPT. T. B. “GYPE” SEBASTIAN, ’33, and have him write me. He’s my old roommate, and I have written him several times at Camp Hood, but no response. He's probably been moved. Thanks. (Yes—overseas— APO 9210—c/0o P. M. N. Y. C.) Have run into BOB SEAY and BILLY O. JONES, both 43, and two swell guys. They are teaching Chinese soldiers the American way of doing things. The Chinese sold- iers are willing and cannot be sold short on faith in the Generalissimo and winning the war. They are “dinghan”. « Yours in victory, E. H. BURNS, CAPT, ’34 APO 627 New York, N. Y. Right In The Big Middle Teheran, Iran , Dec. 13, 1943 Prof. C. J. Finney College Station, Texas Dear Jack: We have just had some pretty exciting times here in Teheran. I was “drafted” in as an additional - “gide” to General Connolly, as his regular Russian-speaking aides were somewhat busier than usual. It gave me the opportunity to meet several of the President’s group: General Watson; Admiral Leahy; Admiral Ross McIntyre; Admiral Brown; Ambassadors Winant and Harriman; and Gen- eral Hurley, and to see the re- mainder at close range. In my opinion, it was the biggest meet- ing in history. From all indications, the BIG THREE got on famously. One of the most pleasant parts of the entire affair for me was meeting Ambassador Winant. Af- ter the last war, he was in Texas for some time in the oil business and practicing law in Mexia and San Antonio. He loves Texas, and still has property in the suburbs of San Antonio. And, I must con- fess, I got a tremendous kick out of giving messages to General Connolly from Harry Hopkins, or to Mr. Winant from the Prime Minister. All in all, it was grand affair. Come to think of it, the past few weeks have been notable for other reasons, too. We recently re- ceived our first shipment of fresh meat and butter. It was certainly a treat! Sincerely yours, A. B. SWANK, MAJ. 36 APO 523 c/o Postmaster New York, N. Y. The New Class Program Judging from the enthusiastic comments, and the ready willing- ness of outstanding members of the several classes to serve as Class Agents, the new Class Pro- gram of the Association will prove a popular and helpful development in A. & M. family affairs. Launch- ed this year after several years of study and consideration, the new program has immense Ppos- sibilities of both a personal pleas- are to A. & M. men and of as- sistance to them and to their col- lege. oR Listed elsewhere in this issue are the Class Agents who have ac- cepted leadership for their classes and they comprise a select group of active, interested A. & M. men. The Association headquarters of- fice will handle as many details of the program as possible but the Class Agents will be the key fig- urges and the main importance of the new program. The cooperation and assistance of members of their respective classes is earnestly re- quested. Watch for YOUR class letter. Designed as purely ‘Family com- munications they will bring you intimate news about your class- mates. They should prove a very happy experience for all A. & M. men. AMONG A. and M.

Months when issued Monthly by the Association of Former Students of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of VOLUME XII COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1944 NUMBER 60 Federal Extension Authorities Disapprove Eudaly Appomtment Washington officials of the Agri- cultural Extension Service an- nounced last week that E. B. “Hico” Eudaly ’10, would not be approved as Director of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. Eudaly had been named for the post by the Board of Directors of the College. Approval of the Di- rector by Washington Extension officials is due to the fact that over half of Extension Service funds are put up by the Federal Government. Failure to approve Eudaly again throws the Extension Service 'sit- uation into a muddle, where it has been since the summary dismissal last August of H. H. Williamson, 11. The present Acting Director is J. D. Prewit, ’23, who will prob- ably be retained in that position. Prewit had also been named Vice- Director. W. H. Conway, Assistant to M. L. Wilson, Chief of the Extension Service, at Washington, comment- ing on an investigation he and Director Wilson conducted in the state last November, declared: “After our return to Washington we informed Chairman Law that while we had proper regard for the experience and capabilities of Mr. Eudaly, we felt that in view of the importance of the post it should be filled by one with more administrative experience. “The Texas organization is the biggest in the nation. We inform- ed Mr. Law that we would look further into the situaticn and sub- mit our conclusions at a later date. “The situation is further confus- ed,” Conway said, “by the tem- porary status of Dr. F. C. Bol- ton as president of the college. Doctor Bolton became Acting President upon the retirement of Dr. T. O. Walton. “The college president normally recommends the appointment of the extension service director, Conway added. : “In some instances an Extension Service has gone outside a state to find a director, but the college board has emphasized that it wanted the post filled with some- one from within the state. Con- way said the state service was so large, with 12 districts, there was no reason why an able man for the job could not be found.” No official comment in regard to the matter has been made by the Directors of the College. Un- less a special meeting is called the Board is not due to meet again until March. In the meantime, it is considered certain that Prewit will continue as Acting Director of the Extension Service. 1905 CLASS AGENT M. S. Church, Continental Bldg., Dallas 1906 CLASS AGENT J.

Announcement of the appointment and acceptance of Class Agents for the missing five classes is expected daily and the gaps will be filled by the next The Class Agent and Class Letter program has been under con- sideration and planning by officers and directors of the Association and by Class Presidents for several years. It is designed to build and stimulate class interest, to maintain class contacts and class spirit and to provide a competitive feature for the Development Fund. At the beginning of the current fiscal year of the Association last” June President J. P. Hamblen, ’27, requested Vice President Rufus Peeples, *28, Tehuacana, to assume responsibility for the Class organization. Proof of the work that has been done is the impressive list of Class e Class Letters : Big feature of the program will be separate Class Letters that will be mailed several times each year to the members of each class and which will be written by the Class Agents and other class-mat- es. Most of the first letters haw been written and will be mailed in the next thirty days. They will be “Family” style letters, filled with news of particular interest to the members of each class. Pioneer Classes Grouped Due to their relatively small numbers the early-day classes have been grouped and will be called The Pioneers. Included are all classes from 1876 to 1897, inclu- sive. Dr. F. E. “Pal” Giesecke, '86, retired veteran A. & M. Faculty member, will serve as Class Rep- resentative for the group. Starting with the class of 1898 each class will have its own Class Represen- tative. Interesting to note is the num- ber of Class Agents in military service, including all classes from 1932 on and dropping back to 1916 to pick up Capt. Pat Olsen. Several of the army men are over- seas put that has not prevented their close interest and cooperation in getting out messages to their respective classes. Class Letter Names Each Class will be invited to suggest a mame for its class let- ter; the name being representative Rar of some event or characteristic of JOR the class’s history. As an example the 1911 letter will be named “THE BIVOUAC”, in memory of long hikes and over-night camps on the Brazos during its school days. The 1913 letter will be “THE FIREMAN” in memory of the two big fires that destroyed the old Mess Hall and old Main building during 1913’s days on the campus. The 1921 Class letter will be known as “THE REGULATOR” in an explanation on its letter- ead. Other class letter names include “THE 1912 REVEILLE”, “THE 1928 CHAMPION”, and “THE 1930 WILDCAT”. Many class letters have not yet been named and sug- gestions are in order. 1930 J. A. Reynolds, Dreyfus & Son, Dallas 1931 Under Negotiation 1932 Lt. Col. Luther E. Bell, 509 N.
